  1. Performance Indicators for the Transport Sector Prof. B.P. Chandrasekhar Director (Technical), NRRDA, Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India Sri Lanka, April, 2005

  2. Existing Scenario of Transport Indicators The indicators often present the physical features of the Sub System. Indicators are mostly supply driven. No uniformity in the measurement of the performance. User oriented Indicators are totally absent. They fail to give direct inputs for Planning/ Management. No unified body responsible for collection of data, storage, analysis and dissemination.

  3. Issues related to Performance Indicators Is it adequate to measure indicators of the physical infrastructure of the Sub System? Does the indicator lead to appropriate planning the operations of the Sub System? Is the performance indicator linked to the demand? Can a set of indicators be kept uniform over all Sub Systems? Is it possible to identify a combined indicator of transport services to the society? Do the performance indicators reflect safety and environment aspects adequately? Is it not necessary that the indicator reflects the impact of transportation on the Society? Are the indicators available on public platform for accessing by all?

  4. Issues in the Institutional Arrangements Do all sectors have an identified institutional arrangement for performance data collection? Are the institutions equipped adequately for the above purpose? Are the arrangements adequate for storage and analysis of the indicator data? Is there an established relationship among the Sub Sectors for sharing the information for the common cause? Are the institutional arrangements adequate for establishing demand driven indicators? Is there a public policy that involve academics and R&D organizations for the analysis of the indicators.

  5. Scope for Transport Performance Indicators Physical parameters of the system like length, type, managerial responsibility that reflect supply side. Performance indicators such as cost, energy consumption, output investment ratios, utilization, occupancy ratios Impact indicators like accessibility, connectivity, mobility indices. Demand indicators like estimated travel, modal splits, trip length frequency by modes. Public transport performance indicators like system utilization, waiting times, dead kilometerage, ingress times etc. Societal impact indicators like Employment generation, access to basic amenities of health and education.

  6. Suggestions for Streamlining Data Management Identified unit at different levels for data collection and compilation. Scientific methodology for parameter identification and data collection. R&D efforts for parametric analysis and evaluation of indicators. Evolution of key indicators for use as inputs for system management. Special attention to demand analysis that assists system planning. There is a need for making available the performance indicator data of all the Sub Systems for public. A unified authority for planning total transportation system with appropriate coordination for complimentary operations like transport boards.
